"Another prince has arrived."
Waves of azure water lapped against the side of the ship, and the entire port was crowded with warships who came to form an alliance. It was roughly estimated that there were no less than two hundred ships, and they were arriving in a steady stream.
At this moment, heroes gathered together. Although Palamedes, Odysseus, and Menelaus were appointed as envoys, they were not implemented immediately because there were more important things - the election in the presence of all the princes. Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.
At this time, Telepolemus, king of Rhodes, Diomedes, king of Argos, Telamon and Ajax the son of Ereboia, and his half-brother, the famous archer Teuc Los
Ajax the Younger, son of Oleus of Locris, King Menastheus of Athens, Askaraphos and Iarmenos, sons of Ares
Meges, grandson of Augeas, king of Nelis, Telepolemus, son of Hercules, Diomedes, king of Argos, and others came.
Some differences from the script are that some small city-states did not come, and some of the confused princes that Paris visited brought less fleets.
Also, Achilles didn't come, which was the real change to the script.
But no one cares about Achilles. The scale now has surprised all the heroes. This is an army of tens of thousands. This is an unprecedented army in Greece.
"Everyone, this time we form a coalition to attack Troy, we cannot do without a commander. We should elect a commander to better lead everyone to victory." Palamedes said loudly, he had accepted Agamemnon's hint from the beginning. , I want to put forward this suggestion at this alliance conference and see how everyone reacts.
Palamedes made this suggestion, and the whole place was silent. Everyone was silent, as if they didn't care about this matter.
Odysseus looked at Palamedes' performance coldly and smiled in his heart: "Palmedes, I guess he received a lot of gold from Agamemnon."
Agamemnon didn't expect that he would get cold feet, but he was prepared for it, and he gave a subtle wink to someone in the crowd.
Someone in the crowd immediately stood up: "I support Agamemnon as the commander-in-chief of this coalition. Apart from him, there is no other person in the audience who can convince the crowd."
When everyone looked over, it turned out to be Telepolemus, the son of Heracles on the island of Rhodes.
After the first person agreed, the second one, King Menelaus of Sparta, stood up: "I also agree that my brother Agamemnon should become the commander-in-chief of the coalition. Without him, the whole of Greece would be in disarray. Nor can we take Troy."
"I agree too."
"I support Agamemnon." Everyone who had been silent just now expressed their support for Agamemnon as the commander of the coalition forces. Seeing this, some people also echoed.
From the perspective of gods, non-descendants of Zeus could not serve as commanders of this coalition.
From a national perspective, the most powerful country in Greece is now Mykeni.
Although everyone doesn't like multiple people standing on top, the fact is that a commander is really needed, and the most suitable one is Agamemnon.
Kings and princes of small countries have no hope of serving.
Seeing everyone's support, Agamemnon was radiant and walked to the stage: "Dear kings and princes, thank you very much for your support. Since you have chosen me to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition, I guarantee that I will be the commander-in-chief of the coalition. I want to lead everyone to victory in the Trojan War."
"Dear Commander Agamemnon, I wonder if you have a detailed plan to attack Troy? As far as I know, Troy is a big country, and it also has many allies. Even if we all capture Troy, we will also suffer heavy losses. asked little Ajax.
"Little Ajax asked nicely. I have a plan to attack Troy. Let me give you a general outline first."
"First, I will concentrate the superior forces to surround the city of Troy. When the Trojan allies arrive, I will allocate part of the force to defeat and eliminate its allies one by one. Finally, I will gather the strength of the entire coalition army. There will be no strong reinforcements outside Troy. Come down and capture Troy in one fell swoop.”
Agamemnon told everyone his general plan on how he, as commander, would lead the coalition forces to capture Troy. To be honest, this plan was quite satisfactory. It was the simplest way of encircling a point for reinforcements and crushing the enemy in front of him with absolute power. But the important thing was safe.
"What are you going to do if the coalition attack on Troy is frustrated?" Odysseus asked.
"With the strength of our Greek coalition, there is no possibility of setback. Besides, we still have so many great heroes." Agamemnon said proudly.
"Before fighting, we should consider what to do if we fail. This is what a commander should do. With our long journey and poor supply of food and grass, we won't be able to hold on for too long if we are frustrated." Decius didn't seem to want to go to the battlefield in such a confused way, and insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the truth.
"King Odysseus, you are also a great hero. You should understand the role of a legendary hero on the battlefield. If we really encounter a setback in Troy, I will be the first to stand up and lead our army. Many heroes and warriors captured the city of Troy, and I believe no one in Troy can stop the attack of so many of our legendary heroes."
Agamemnon said confidently, and what he said was indeed a fact. In this world, legendary heroes can influence the battlefield. The strength of a legendary hero is too high, not to mention that there are many heroes in the Greek coalition.
"You're right, we have so many troops and heroes, Troy can't resist."
"Agamemnon is still quite skillful and is indeed qualified to serve as commander-in-chief." The heroes present are all robbers among robbers and warriors among warriors. They have experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally they understand this, and the atmosphere gradually becomes heated. , looking at Agamemnon, his eyes gradually changed.
But just then, someone shouted: "Agamemnon is the King of Kings!"
After hearing this, the kings and princes searched quickly, but found that they didn't know who this person was. They couldn't help but look at each other. Many people's enthusiasm cooled down and they showed displeasure. Who can call this King of Kings
Just being the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is all. Do you really want to be our king
Odysseus glanced at Agamemnon: "King of kings? This is a title that only Zeus has."
When Agamemnon heard someone calling him King of Kings, he didn't reject it at first, but secretly rejoiced.
He raised the scepter in his hand high and stood on the high platform looking at many heroes. They were all kings and princes of various Greek kingdoms. Now they all obeyed his orders. At this moment, Agamemnon even gave birth to the idea of the world is over. Illusion of my hand.
"Agamemnon, King of Kings." Agamemnon murmured, gripping the scepter harder.
olympus
This is a sacred mountain and a huge garden, with rare things that are never seen in the outside world. The gods sit around the temple, and in the middle is a thick cloud. The clouds and mist show the grand gathering of the Greek heroes of Aulis.
When Agamemnon became the commander-in-chief of the entire Greek coalition, the gods were indifferent. They had already expected it and continued the banquet. For the gods, the wine they drank was white, which is the liquid that can make mortals immortal. The dishes were similar. Hebe, the goddess of youth, kept serving and refilling the dishes.
Moreover, God does not have such a thing as feces and urine. If you drink it and eat it, it will turn into power and be completely absorbed by God. Every bit of it may seem insignificant, but when accumulated over time, it is not considered "useless"!
Some people say that this wine can make the gods live forever and stay young forever. They think that, just like Asa Garden, the gods rely on the wine of youth and will grow old if they lose it... This is actually wrong. The gods have their own sources. It is not needed to maintain life and youth.
It's just that this is "public money" and can only be enjoyed by those who officially have the status of god - look, that Hercules (Hercules) is not blessed to enjoy this kind of treatment (Note 1).
The gods were careless and suddenly heard someone shouting Agamemnon, the King of Kings, and Agamemnon also raised his scepter to show it. The voices of the gods discussing disappeared at once, and the whole hall poured wine. All the voices disappeared.
"King of kings?"
Agamemnon held up his scepter, and his high-spirited image was frozen in the clouds. The gods had a strange mentality and couldn't help but look at each other. This is the title of Zeus. If Agamemnon dares to call him this, isn't he afraid of divine punishment
Everyone looked at Zeus who was sitting in the middle, but at this moment Zeus's expression did not change much, and his expression looked unfathomable.
After a while, the hall became lively again. The gods seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not express their opinions on this. They just exchanged anecdotes about each other.
After a while, Athena approached Hera and whispered: "Dear Hera, if Achilles didn't come, the gap between the Greeks and the Trojans wouldn't be that big. , do we still need to attack Agamemnon?”
"Agamemnon is a descendant of our terrible god. He enjoys the greatest wealth on earth. He is also qualified to serve as the commander of the coalition this time."
"But now it seems that he is too complacent. This kind of ambition should not be allowed. Agamemnon, are you going to continue to be arrogant and disrespectful of the gods? Or wake up and don't go overboard. Your life is at stake." It's a thought." Hera said, glanced at Zeus, and saw that he was silent. She already had an idea in her mind. She turned to Artemis and said: "The matter of Agamemnon. , it’s up to you to handle it.”
Artemis looked at Zeus and saw that it was silent. Then she looked at Hera and nodded. Her power was far superior to that of Apollo. This cleanup would not damage her foundation. , so her stance was relatively calm, not as anxious as Apollo.
But now that Hera had spoken, she still nodded slightly to express her agreement.
Zeus looked at the clouds in the middle and said nothing, thinking: "Agamemnon, you are my descendant and are not within the scope of being cut off. Originally I would protect you and return to Greece safely so that you can enjoy your glory and old age, but now Your ambition has brought you disaster."
Zeus is the king of the gods. Not saying a word does not mean that he has no opinions. Sometimes it is a kind of acquiescence.
Note: Hercules landed on Mount Olympus, but was expelled by Hera and had no real status as a god.
